Melbourne, Dec 28, Left-handed batter Alex Carey slammed his maiden Test century to carry forward Australia domination over South Africa on the third day of the second match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), here on Wednesday.

When stumps were called early after an hour was lost to persistent light rain, South Africa were struggling at 15-1 having lost skipper Dean Elgar for a third-ball duck and still 371 runs shy of forcing Australia to bat a second time.
